Sunday: Rest

I have felt significantly better the past 3 days.  I plan to attempt a run tomorrow.  IF all goes well... I hope I can get in that 20 miler this weekend.  

Would you still run the marathon without at least 1, 20 miler? 

I have 3 weeks... I really do not want my first DNS

I found this video on Shalane Flanagan's webpage: Great warm-up exercises and the last 1/2 of the video (Starting at 4:40) has some great cardio circuits & core strengthening to incorporate into your daily routines! Plus - watching her in the video is wicked motivation!

Sorry Kara, Shalane is my Favorite :D

Last week of 2011 - Make it a POSITIVE one!

Turning into a Fish

No Running = A WHOLE LOT OF.....

Time spent staring at a black line....

  

AM

 

And PM

 Followed by globs of....

The 'Myrtl Routine' (From this post) on constant repeat throughout the day....


 And as much of this that doesn't bother my leg

Is it just me... or does the instructor bug the SHIT out of you? I have to turn OFF the volume.

 

 

 

 

 

I am pretty sure I am turning into a fish.
